Love the wiki functionality.
It would be great to get support built-in or via user extensions for mermaid (https://mermaidjs.github.io/) and plantuml (https://github.com/plantuml/plantuml).

It would be spectacular to support the mermaid. It would be a huge insinuating to use.

Mermaid Markdown has an excelent, easy syntax and it's widely used here in Brazil.
Our developers would be very happy with this improvement since it's very confortable to write and share in this format. -

This will be the killer feature for the technical documentation.
Absolute must have. -

Both would be great, but mermaid looks super simple to ship being a JavaScript package. Please make this happen sooner than later, running a build task with the cli (needs chromium 135mb) is a waste of my build minutes, but the only reasonable other solution...

Support for diagrams in VSTS Wikis would make them much more competitive with existing full-featured Wiki tools such as DocuWiki, MediaWiki, and Confluence.

PlantUml inlined within Markdown wonderfully solves how to create and maintain docs that require diagrams as part of their content: use-case diagrams, architecture diagrams, data diagrams, etc.
VSTS wiki auto-rendering PlantUml code, **especially** when PlantUml code is inlined within markdown file, would be the "holy grail" of software documentation (IMO).
With this feature, I only have to maintain ONE Markdown file (with inline PlantUml) in our source repo. Have the VSTS wiki use relative reference to this file in source repo, and voila: easy to edit using VS Code (w/PlantUml plugins for rendering previews), easy to commit docs alongside source code for that product, and VSTS wiki handles the publication and rendering for readers.
Sweet: what a killer combo this would be.

I would love plant uml support in the wiki and in the shown git source. We use are checking in our current workflows as plant uml diagrams next to our source code. It would be great if the tfs / vsts would support previewing the uml content as visual studio code does.
